Auburn G Wilson Bell

Old school: Florida State.The skinny: The Tigers’ offensive front is getting a boost with the arrival of Bell, a grad transfer who started in 2015 for the Seminoles and brings size (6-foot-5, 320 pounds) and the technique that’s made him a potential NFL draft choice. Bell, who is an Alabama native, could start at guard; he also could end up as a backup. Regardless, Bell should make life more comfortable for new QB Jarrett Stidham and RBs Kamryn Pettway and Kerryon Johnson.
